ObjectiveTo systematically assess the public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province, to conduct an in-depth analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, so as to provide scientific basis and strategic recommendations for further enhancement. MethodsA systematic collection of policy documents, public information reports, and research literature related to public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province from 2002 to 2023 was conducted (encompassing a total of 1 263 policy documents, 138 pieces of information reports and 631 research articles). Based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems previously developed by the research team, the basic status and magnitude of change in public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province was evaluated. Additionally, normative gap analyses were employed to identify the strengths and weaknesses. ResultsZhejiang Province ranked 4th nationwide in terms of public health governance capacity with a score of 733.4 points (1 000.0-point maximum). The province has effectively implemented the principle of health first (scoring 698.5 points in the assessment of health-first strategy implementation) and attached sufficient importance to health-related goals (scoring 658.2 points in the scientific rationality of goal setting). However, the implementation of inter-departmental coordination and incentive mechanisms only scored 178.7 points, the feasibility of management and monitoring mechanisms scored even lower at only 144.0 points, and the coverage of incentive mechanisms scored 286.0 points. ConclusionZhejiang Province has effectively implemented its health first strategy and attached great importance to health targets, but still needs to strengthen cross-departmental coordination mechanisms and health-oriented incentives.

Patients with lung cancer experience a heavy symptom burden during the perioperative period, which seriously affects their recovery and quality of life. Traditional symptom management models rely mainly on scheduled ward rounds during hospitalization and outpatient follow-up after discharge. However, they have limitations such as delayed symptom recognition, lack of post-discharge monitoring, and non-quantitative symptom assessment, which often lead to delayed interventions and low patient satisfaction. In recent years, the symptom management model based on electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) has been increasingly valued in clinical practice. Existing high-level evidence from both domestic and international studies indicates that, through proactive monitoring, real-time alerts, and remote interventions, this model enables dynamic and continuous symptom management and helps improve patient recovery and healthcare experience. As a supplement to routine medical care, the ePRO-based symptom management model aims to enhance the quality of care rather than replace existing medical processes. To promote the standardized application of this model in perioperative lung cancer care, this consensus integrates domestic and international evidence. After multiple rounds of voting by more than 50 experts, it formulates 12 consensus statements covering the three core components, symptom monitoring, alerting, and intervention, to provide scientific and practical recommendations for clinical practice.

The auxin/indole-3-acetic acid (Aux/IAA) gene family is an important regulator for plant growth hormone signaling, involved in plant growth, development, as well as response to environmental stresses. In the present study, we identified SmIAA7 which is potentially associated with Salvia miltiorrhiza leaf development through comparatively analyzed the transcriptome data from different pinnate leaves. SmIAA7 was successfully isolated from S. miltiorrhiza using the specific primers. Then subsequent bioinformatic analysis, prokaryotic expression and purification, subcellular localization, and induction expression analysis under auxin and abiotic stress were performed. The full-length of SmIAA7 contained an ORF of 684 bp encoding a protein of 227 amino acid with a molecular weight of 25.3 kD. Conserved domain analysis showed that SmIAA7 contains the conserved Aux_IAA domain (pfam02309). Sequence analysis and phylogenetic tree analysis results indicated SmIAA7 was phylogenetically close to IAA7 and IAA14 from other plants, suggesting SmIAA7 involved in plant growth and development as well as response to environmental stresses. The prokaryotic expression vector pET28a-SmIAA7 was constructed and SmIAA7 recombinant protein was successfully expressed in E. coli Rosetta (DE3) strain. Subcellular localization experiment demonstrated that SmIAA7 localized in the nucleus of plant cells. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR results showed that the expression level of SmIAA7 was upregulated in response to auxin. Drought, low temperature, and salt stress significantly increased the transcript level of SmIAA7 gene. This study lays a foundation for further elucidating the role of SmIAA7 in leaf development, signal transduction, and stress defense in S. miltiorrhiza.

Pancreatic cancer is a kind of highly malignant tumor with a low survival rate and poor prognosis. The effectiveness of gemcitabine as a first-line chemotherapy drug is limited; however, it can activate dendritic cells and improve antigen presentation which increase the sensitivity of tumor cell to immunotherapy. Although immunotherapy has made some advancements in cancer treatment, the therapeutic benefit of programmed cell death receptor 1/programmed death receptor-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) blockade therapy remains relatively low. The chemokine C-X-C chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) contributes to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by recruiting immunosuppressive cells. The receptor C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), highly expressed in various tumors including pancreatic cancer, plays a crucial role in tumor development and progression. In this study, the anti-tumor immune response of human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (hPBMC) was enhanced using the combination of BsNb PX4 (anti-PD-L1&CXCR4 bispecific nanobody) and gemcitabine. In a co-culture system of gemcitabine-pretreated hPBMCs with tumor cells, the BsNb PX4 synergized gemcitabine to improve the cytotoxic activity of hPBMCs against tumor cells. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed increased ratio of CD8⁺ to CD4⁺ T cells in combination treatment. In NOD/SCID mice bearing pancreatic cancer, the combination treatment exhibited more infiltration of CD8⁺ T cells into tumor tissues, contributing to an effective anti-tumor response. This study presents potential new therapies for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Ethical approval was obtained for collection of hPBMC samples from the Local Ethics Committee of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. All animal experiments were approved by the Animal Ethic Committee of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (authorizing number: A2024246).

Background and purpose:The microphthalmia-associated transcription factor(MITF)plays a complex role in melanoma pathogenesis and progression.It is known to regulate multiple processes both in melanocytes and melanoma cells.While numerous studies have explored MITF in cutaneous melanoma(CM),research in acral melanoma(AM)is still limited.This study retrospectively analyzed the correlation between MITF expression and clinical,pathological characteristics and prognosis in AM patients,providing a basis for prognosis evaluation and personalized treatment plan formulation for patients.Methods:Patients who underwent primary resection of AM at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from March 2008 to February 2022 were included.All surgical samples were diagnosed by clinical histopathology and used to construct the tissue microarray(TMA).This study was approved by the medical ethics committee of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center(approval number:2203-ZZK-69-3).Cutting complete tissue microarray and evaluating MITF expression levels by immunohistochemistry(IHC)staining were carried out.The results were independently assessed and scored by three pathologists.Clinical and pathological data were collected from the hospital's electronic medical record system,and each patient's data was matched to their corresponding tissue sample on the chip.Patients were stratified into two groups based on MITF expression levels.Statistical analyses were performed to assess differences in clinical,pathological characteristics and survival outcomes between these two groups.Results:A total of 137 AM patients were included.MITF expression was significantly associated with T stage,N stage,American Joint Committee on Cancer(AJCC)stage,clark level,sentinel lymph node status,and presence of ulceration.Among these,N stage and ulceration were independent risk factors for high expression of MITF after adjusting for confounding factors.Survival analysis showed that AM patients with high MITF expression or higher T stage were associated with shorter disease-free survival(DFS).Patients with high MITF expression showed no significant difference in overall survival(OS)between observation or cytokine therapy and adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitor(ICI)therapy,whereas those with low MITF expression derived significant survival benefits from ICI treatment.Conclusion:A higher N stage or the presence of ulceration indicates high MITF expression in tumor cells,with high MITF levels serving as a warning signal for early recurrence,metastasis,and even death.Patients with low MITF expression could receive improved OS with early adjuvant ICI therapy.MITF could not only serve as an auxiliary diagnostic marker for melanoma but also provide a basis for clinical prognosis assessment and the formulation of personalized treatment plans.

Objectives:To assess the situation of retained cardiac implantable electronic device(CIED)leads after cardiac transplantation,the associated factors,and their impact on long-term prognosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1 096 patients who underwent cardiac transplantation at Fuwai Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 1,2005 to January 1,2022.Among them,204 patients(18.6%)received CIED therapy before cardiac transplantation.Two physicians independently reviewed the pre-and post-transplant chest X-rays to determine the presence of retained CIED leads.Logistic multivariate regression analysis was used to assess factors associated with retained CIED leads,and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to analyze the impact of retained CIED leads on long-term prognosis.Results:Among the 204 patients who received CIED therapy before cardiac transplantation,the highest proportion were those treated with implantable cardioverter defibrillator(ICD)and cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator(CRT-D),accounting for 47.5%(97/204)and 40.7%(83/204),respectively.The mean duration from CIED implantation to cardiac transplantation was(45.1±40.0)months,and 38 patients(18.6%)had retained CIED leads after cardiac transplantation.The results of the logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that the duration from CIED implantation to cardiac transplantation was the only factor associated with retained CIED leads after cardiac transplantation(OR=1.020,95%CI:1.011-1.030,P=0.000).Cumulative all-cause survival rates among patients without CIED implantation(n=892),those without retained CIED leads(n=166),and those with retained CIED leads(n=38)were 88.5%,93.3%and 84.2%,respectively.Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed no significant difference in cumulative all-cause survival among the three groups(log-rank P=0.643).Conclusions:In patients who received CIED implantation before cardiac transplantation,18.6%had retained leads after surgery.The duration from CIED implantation to cardiac transplantation is the only factor associated with lead retained after cardiac transplantation,but retained leads does not affect the outcome post heart transplantation.

Objective:To explore the effect of Swanson theory combined with hand touch on the existential distress of patients with advanced lung cancer, in order to provide reference for clinical humanistic care.Methods:A non synchronous controlled study was conducted using convenience sampling to select advanced lung cancer patients admitted to the Oncology Department of the First People's Hospital of Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province from October 2023 to March 2024 as the control group, and advanced lung cancer patients admitted from April to October 2024 as the experimental group. The control group received routine care, while the experimental group received Swanson theory combined with hand touch intervention on the basis of routine care. The Existential Distress Scale (EDS) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- General (FACT-G) scores of the two groups were compared before and 2 weeks after intervention.Results:During the study period, there were 3 dropouts in the experimental group and 2 dropouts in the control group. Finally, 37 cases were included in the experimental group, including 16 males and 21 females, with an age of (62.35 ± 12.13) years. There were 38 cases in the control group, including 25 males and 13 females, with an age of (65.68 ± 13.46) years. After 2 weeks of intervention, the EDS score of the experimental group patients was (6.65 ± 2.89) points, while that of the control group was (8.16 ± 2.27) points. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t = 2.52, P<0.05). After intervention, the social/family status dimension, emotional status dimension, and total score of FACT-G in the experimental group were (15.35 ± 4.18), (19.27 ± 3.54), and (57.46 ± 14.69) points, respectively, which were better than the control group's (13.08 ± 3.77), (16.53 ± 3.88), and (50.58 ± 11.86) points. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t = - 2.47, - 3.20, - 2.24, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The combination of Swanson theory and hand touch can effectively reduce the existential distress of patients with advanced lung cancer, improve their quality of life, and embody the concept of nursing humanistic care into simple and safe intervention measures, providing reference for clinical humanistic care.
